THE MICRoBE THEORY.
Sensible Remarks by an Italian Doctor
in the Medical Concress

WASHINGTON, September that the opening
OF the Medical Congress President Davis called
Professor Durante, of Rome, to the chair as
Vlce-President from Italy to preside while his
compatriot from Naples, Professor Semmola
should read the paper of the day Professor
Semmola took the ground that modern tenden-
cies were in the direction OF hypothesis and alb
stract theory, and urged return to safer and
more conservative, though perhaps slower,
methods of experimentation and the exact as
ceTtalnment of facts. The fundamental scope
OF medicine, he said was the care of
disease. The progress to-day in the art
was hindered by tendency to bacteorology;
which threatened to grow into sytem of itself,
instead of becoming-or remainng-the hand
maid and auxiliary of the employed me dicine.
Certainly microscopic world does exist,
the exploration of which had brought to light
myriads of enemies Of mankind. But the solu-
ton OF problems thus presente to the pracd-
toner was as yet unattainable. The many
theories presented for the destruction OF
the microbes which cause disease would, if
acted upon, first kill the patient. and then
doubtless destroy the microbe Doctors should
emancipate themselves from the improved
theories of the present, as well as the un-
founded dogmas of the past.
The Professor was rendered vote of thanks
for his paper. The general session then ad-
lourned for the day

The recent raise was fought by the liquor men,
who defeated the ordinance ON technicalities
The present measure was carefully drawn by
the District Attorney, who devoted much
thought to its preparation. Four of the five Su-
pervisors voted for the increase. Many citizens
think the action the dawn of a new and brighter
era for san Mateo county. Under the low
license Redwood City had thirty saloons to fif-
teen hundred inhabitants. The more intelli-
gent among the saloon men are considering the
advisability of forming joint stock company
and having saloons in only few places and
paying licenses for only enough saloons to pay
well, selling no liquor to minors or habitually
intemperate, and selling only pure LIQUORS. etc
